As Halo Moves to Activision, Halo Studios Writers Tease What Might Have Been
Following the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Halo Studios has put out a blog post detailing plans for the future of Master Chief’s story. It’s an interesting look at where the series might have gone, prior to the recent announcement that Activision is now the shepherd of the Halo series.
Halo Studios has revealed plans for the future of the Halo series following the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved. The blog post, written by franchise writer Alex Wakeford, offers a glimpse into the studio's intentions before the recent Activision acquisition of the Halo series. Despite the game still being years away, the post discusses the studio's attempts to solidify the story across various media, including game releases, remakes, books, and TV shows.
One notable addition to the series mentioned in the blog post is the potential introduction of the Xalanyn, an advanced race of immortal beings previously imprisoned by the Forerunners. According to Wakeford, these beings would have been a significant addition to the Halo lore, providing new antagonists for the series to confront. However, it appears that this concept may have been scrapped, as Halo Studios' final game in the series was released on July 28, 2026.
